Two Week Wait

 Two week wait is a term many women use when waiting to see if they are pregnant. The anticipation before they can take a pregnancy test can be excruciating. However, with you it was different. There wasn't any anticipation, there wasn't any expectation, just an amazing surprise that came with little effort. Let me explain a bit further.

When your Dad and I were trying to get pregnant with your brother it took year, four to be exact. We sought medical treatment, tried reflexology, basically almost anything under the sun we tried. And then one month when we stopped trying there he was. We thought for sure when it came for us to try again it would be similar with all the trying, waiting, and anticipation. Instead, you were just there. 

We had talked about trying again after your brother turned one. We wanted my body to heal so you could be healthy, but didn't want to take to long in case it did take us a while to conceive. So, once your brother turned one we threw caution to the wind and just decided to leave it in God's hands. Apparently, God wanted you here quickly. About three weeks after we made that decision we found out I was pregnant with you. 

There came a lot of fear once we found out. Fear that something would happen to you in the first few weeks. Fear about being parents to two children instead of one. Fear of sleepless nights, money issues, and all the other junk that comes with being a parent. Shortly after that passed came the excitement. Who would you be? Would you have my eyes like your brother, or your dad's eyes? Would you like the same things as your brother or would you be completely different? All the fears were still there but they were mix in with this excitement and happiness about meeting you. 

Now, we are in a different type of two week wait. In two weeks, we get to meet you. And we are so, so excited, no fear left.
